I bought the album on a download 2 years ago for £4.00 from emusic, so I don't have a CD booklet!

... who she?

I only listened to the opening words of this, but it sounded like Baudelaire's translation of Poe's early [1833] tale 'Shadow - a Parable', included in the "Tales of the Folio Club" -

“Vous qui me lisez, vous êtes encore parmi les vivants ; mais moi qui écris, je serai depuis longtemps parti pour la région des ombres. Car, en vérité, d'étranges choses arriveront, bien des choses secrètes seront révélées, et bien des siècles passeront avant que ces notes soient vues par les hommes. Et quand ils les auront vues, les uns ne croiront pas, les autres douteront, et bien peu d'entre eux trouveront matière à méditation dans les caractères que je grave sur ces tablettes avec un stylus de fer.”

some nice weekend listening...

?


... hmmm. I thought the music was a load of tut. But, whatevs, enjoy...

[vinteuil]

Possibly one of this year's less well known composer anniversaries...

... many thanks, MarkG, for this. Not a composer I knew, not at all - but most attractive. Shall be getting the three vols of the cpo edition of the quartets.

Currently listening to this CD.....................At The Sign Of The Crumhorn

[EdgeleyRob]

Evgeny Golubev

Symphony No 5

USSR State Radio SO / Gennady Provatorov

Fine piece this,plenty of DSCH and Prokofiev influence.

He was a pupil of Myaskovsky and taught Schnittke for a time.

Also String Quartet No 10

24 of these to his name,No 10 is quite an intense work

Gimme a chance, I added a picture!

The avant garde project is way off the beaten track

The avant garde project is way off the beaten track

Some wonderful stuff there but hardly "way off"
this is the "mainstream" of 20th century music

Such sheltered ears you have

'Off the beaten track' has nothing to do with me or my ears, with or without shelters (excuse the ahintonism). As Pabmusic has explained in post #31, ''Off the beaten track' is not relative to the listener. It implies (surely) a place where few go (Cambridge dictionary)."

Including a picture of your first girlfriend does not clarify anything.

Now moved on to this............highly recommended!
